Chapter 20: You're Weak
Mark immediately noticed the playful tone that Sozin was using while talking, and he knew that Sozin was being sarcastic right now!
Sozin wasn't the sort of god that denies his own nature! Sozin was the God of Games and he would do anything he wanted for his own entertainment without caring about whether Mrk liked it or not!
Hold on! Did Sozin just read my mind!?
Mark's eyes suddenly widened in shock as he thought about this and he looked towards Sozin quickly with an expression of surprise on his face! Sozin immediately started to laugh even louder!
"You're only noticing now!? I've been reading your mind from the very start! How else do you think I chose you to be my champion without having to talk to you at all!? I chose you because of your mentality! You have the zeal that I am looking for in my champion! The zeal to be the strongest in the world! Do you really think that you are normal!?
"If it were anyone else, they would have given up the moment they realized that they no longer had their blessing. But you didn't give up! Instead, you went to train your regular body, and you started fighting against monsters even without having anything to protect you. You're nothing like normal people, Mark. You're a battle freak with enough sense to go the distance! You love the rush of battle and you crave strength! That is exactly what I want in my champion! You have to be the strongest in every world so I can brag to the other gods that my champion is the best!"
Mark could only nod in silent acceptance of what Sozin said. Mark was a little put off by the fact that Sozin was reading all of his thoughts like an open book, but that wasn't the worst thing in the world when he really thought about it. Sozin was a god, and Mark was sure that there was a lot more that Sozin could do than what he was telling Mark! Mark would just have to learn to live with the fact that Sozin could read his mind.
Mark already had the intention of being the strongest in the world whether Sozin said anything about it or not. Mark was miserable these past few years because he knew that he was just one step away from power, and he had to give up most of it four years ago for the sake of saving the world, so this time Mark would not waste even a moment!
"How are you going to use the first gifts?"
Sozin floated around as he asked this, and Mark looked at the Gift that his system gave him and wondered how he should distribute it.
Mark chose yes, and he felt a surge of energy fill his entire body as something began to flow from his chest toward every limb! Was this mana? It was exhilarating!
Mark quickly went to send the other points to the skill he wanted to improve.
[Does the user wish to transfer 10 skill points to Mana Circulation? Yes/No]
Mark chose yes again, and the surge of mana that was flowing erratically through his body suddenly became far more controlled! He could see that it was now more efficient, and there was less wasted movement as it flowed from his chest through the rest of his body!
Once Mark sent the points to the stats, he saw another new prompt come up.
[Stats improvement Due to Application of Mana]
Strength: +4%
Stamina: +4%
As the mana surged through Mark's body, he could feel a slight increase in those two stats, and he was glad that he chose to add the points here as his entire body felt rejuvenated from the mana he gained. This will help him in the fight that he is going to go back into. At least, he was now sure that his strength would not lose against the strength of that Calamity Class!
Mark knew that his skills and stats were organized in a way that would make fighting with fists very easy. Mark didn't know if the God of Games did this on purpose or if it was just a coincidence, but Mark didn't mind at all because he knew that he enjoyed fighting with his fists more than using a weapon. Mark was a brawler by nature!
